FASCINATING
Where are they operating out of? NC? SC? I wonder how they even got a damn business loan! Especially with Gamestop down the street barely open.
Don't get me started on the physical store..... LRG only retains value if the games are actually...RARE or LIMITED! I guarantee that store will have their "limited stock" bought up day 1 and then cashed out on Ebay. This kills the brand as a whole as resell values tank and perception of value...
Companies fail all the time from mismanagement. Hearing this company was founded by 2 non businessman makes that a much easier pill to swallow. That person asked a genuinely good question: what do you do with my pre-order money HALF/A FULL year ahead of ship date?
Paying bills -- LRG is not run well. One bad smear campaign from a content creator and they're done. They stay afloat because they bleed nerds pre-order by pre-order.
WOW! This reminds me of Supreme (clothing) or Jordans (shoes). Some guys literally buy it ALL.
On a better note it seems that some eBay prices of stuff have dipped.
Edit: I haven't followed these jokesters on social media. This is why Michael Jordan doesn't discuss shoes on Twitter.
Excuse the double post brothers. I liked your original comment and I agree with your sentiment but if as a grown adult you can't resist buying a full priced game you need therapeutic help. I'm serious. I collect designer clothes/shoes and eventually I had to stop. FOMO is a disease created by...
You nailed it. LRG has crap shipping. We ALL know they have crap shipping. I still bought Star Wars the Old Republic. Why? For my shelf. Anyone that buys an LRG to actually play it is delusional.
You get what you pay for.
For some that's a great product and for others they are left wanting. For instance if you're into fighting games and you want a tournament ready machine neither A1Up or AtGames can offer you that. That's a tough pill for your average consumer, to hear a 600 dollar...
Dear God. If A1UP uses worse buttons than AtGames I'm surprised the machine registers commands.
I think you nail it when you say it's a value buy. I do think IRcade's version 2 could be interesting.
I don’t have any of the smaller devices but the buttons on their stand up machines are just okay. They aren’t Sanwa and if you play fighters regularly you’ll want to switch them out ASAP.
Kwick is 💯 right. It just hit me after I spent the money on the machine, USB stick for CoinopsX, downloading the games, etc…. I could have done all of this on my computer, plugged in an old 360 controller, and have almost the same experience.
Guys it's simple: AtGames is the budget option for home arcade stuff. I own the Mini AtGames Legend Tetris whatever machine and it's alright. I look at it and enjoy it as art way more than I do for it's gaming ability. Let's be honest, we own all these games already or have a PC that can play...
